The Truth Is Not True

Chapter 19 - A night with you

Author's note:

Hello! It's Monday. Just wanna say I'm proud of what you've done today. Please keep wearing the brightest smile and do what makes you happy<3

Colet's POV:

I do not know why I felt a pang on my chest when she said that she doesn't like my kiss.

Eyes were both staring intently, battling in silence. Tila naging labanan ang titigan namin na para bang ang unang iiwas ay siyang matatalo.

Gusto ko lang naman itong asarin, but I was hurt by her words. Her back is on the wall while the gap between us is barely an inch.

She didn't urge to move like a statue. This is the second time I made her speechless and can't act like a boss.

Her eyes has a lot to say. So close that I can see a whole novel in her iris. My heart beats so fast, and I'm afraid she might heard what it tells. Then, my gaze went down to her lips that made me out of control.

“Siguro nga hindi mo nagustuhan dahil lasing ka noon. But we're not drunk now, we have control of ourselves.......What if we try it again and see if you'll like it.....or not, Jho.” Saying one of her nicknames felt like I'm close to her. It felt like I knew her for so long. Yeah, I wanna know her and be close to her for so long.

I slowly bring myself close to her, closing the inch gap between us, sealing her lips with mine. I've been longing to kiss her lips.

Claiming her lips felt ethereal. It made me.....happy? Is this what they call butterflies that keep on rumbling in your stomach?

I started to move so I could connect with her, but she didn't respond. I just keep on moving and savor her lips because I don't know when will be the next time I'll kiss her, or not.

I want to feel the rhythm but she's just not moving even an inch. The hurt is starting to go deeper, so I bit her. Sasabay ka o paduduguin ko labi mo?

That's the time she gave in and let me connect with her. It feels like a song, everything is on the beat. It follows every note, and hits every lyrics that we make. My kind of addiction.

My left hand reached her nape while my other hand was resting on her waist. Then, her hands made their way on the back of my neck, resting and serving as a support.

It's just me and her. And just like any song, it has a limit when it will end. As long as I don't want her to stop, we need to let go because we're running out of air.

We separated to get some air. I saw how hard she inhaled while her eyes were closed.

Her plum lips are swollen, and for the nth time, I want to kiss her again. But my mind tells me to stop and let her rest. But apart from me says to follow what I feel.

I pressed our foreheads together and closed my eyes to control myself and think thoroughly. After a minute, I opened my eyes and Jhoanna was staring at me like she was waiting for me to open it.

I was shocked that she pulled me and crashed her lips on mine. She decided for me. Again, the kiss went deeper until we were running out of air.

When our lips parted for the second time, she closed her eyes and closed the gap between our foreheads.

We almost stood there for almost five minutes. Breathing deeply, processing everything that happened, and me savoring the moment.

Jhoanna: “U-uhm. Let's sleep. Good night.” Sambit nito na para bang pinag-isipan niya ito ng mabuti habang naghahabol kami ng hangin kanina.
